Nothing too exciting from here. Nice relaxing weekend around London.
Watched (and were inspired by) the Crossfit Games via a surprisingly high quality video internet feed. If you want to see something impressive, check out their final WOD (works best in Google Chrome, use the drop down at bottom left to select an archive feed). They had no time to prepare and were briefed on the workout on-the-fly with a 30 second rest between three 7-12 minute workouts. Looks like a fun kind of pain.
Also, the Tour de France is heating up. With 6 stages to go and after 68 hours of riding, Andy Schleck holds only a 30 second lead over last year's champ Alberto Contador.
I should be getting some good news regarding banking this week which would make me officially open for trading! Fingers crossed...
You're not kidding about the games, I was glued in front of the computer most of the weekend and that last round was a thing of sadistic, firebreathing beauty.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear things may be getting off the ground. Currently nursing my "tried to read The Economist too fast last night" hangover, recently trying to add a little more business/econ to the uptake.
Sorry I didn't see your comment earlier, I need to figure out a way to turn on notifications for comments made.
ReplyDeleteI genuinely enjoy The Economist, but I get a little worn down by it. I've decided to start ignoring the studies on the used car trade in Tunisia in order to salvage some sanity for the more relevant (to me) articles.
